Hey, I’ve been working on Space Hauler for about a year and I’m happy to finally announce it to y’all!

Space Hauler is a flight simulator set in a full scale simulation of our solar system, focusing first on the Saturn system and its largest moon, Titan. You’ll play as a pilot-for-hire, a freelancer, taking on various jobs the new frontier has to offer: pick up cargo runs between surface bases, air-drop supplies to remote outposts, deploy satellites into specific orbits, rendezvous with a stranded ship to transfer fuel, or dock with a station that's spinning out of control.

Your first ship is the VT-100, a small VTOL cargo spaceplane, designed to fly efficiently in Titan’s thick atmosphere with its proprotors, and capable of reaching orbit with its rocket engines.

Features include:

  • Fully interactive cockpit with functional analog instruments in a retrofuturism aesthetic
  • Realistic flight model, aerodynamics simulating lift and drag in atmospheres, with control surfaces
  • Realistic orbital mechanics with n-body Newtonian physics
  • Full scale Solar System, focusing first on Saturn and its moons
  • Support for VR and HOTAS
  • Surface and space missions, and seamless travel between

This is a passion project of mine as a solo developer, and with funding secured to develop the game, I’m excited to share more with you soon!
